Real Prohibitionists Offset Efforts of
Professional Drys Pastors
Are Silenced
Little Rock, Ark., Sept. 24. Ar
kansas seems set for Al Smith. Fight
ing Joe Robinson, Al's running mate,
as a , native son is counted on tc
make the state safe. Prohibition and
church affiliations are short-circuiting
other issues and. as in othei
states of the south, politics is being
sprayed from many a pulpit. But
here and there appear symptoms that
a reaction has' set in.
Fighting Joe's bombardment of re
ligious intolerance and his attack:
on the whispering campaign, seem
to have put the democrats on their
tiptoes, and the party is making the
most sedulous campaign since thf
civil war.
The state presents the spectacle
of churches split wide open, between
preachers and congregations, while
as to the Volstead issue, the Smith
Robinson banner is being carried by
leaders in the W. C. T. U. The women
are being organized on a scale hith
erto unknown, and the women arc
seeking to establish contact witl
every feminine voter in the state
which isn't so hard as it sounds, for
Arkansas, like the rest of the solid
south, has a small and restricted elec
torate. . ,
Women for Smith.
The women have organized in 71
nf the 75 counties and some of th
,-trnr.frest rountv chairmen are of
land for vears an active worker ir
I the W. C. T. U. Over in Sebastiar
1 rn;intv (Fort Smith), the second
largest county, Mrs. Lora Goolsby
' the Smith women s chairman, ?
speaker of reputation, has been ar
'.officer in the W. C. T. U. Similarly
in several of the smaller counties
W.
C. T. U. women are heading the
Smith feminine movement. Thus the
attacks of the professional drys upor
Smith are being met with counte'
attacks bv leaders who have standing
inside the temperance movement.
Most of the preachers in the state
are reported to be laying off politics
especially since "fighting Joe go
into action. Some of them, however
are tearing into the democrattic tic
ket from the DUloit. The Methedis'
church. South, is the nucleous or th'
democratic party of Arkansas. Rev
H. D. Knickerbocker, pastor of the
First Methodist church" here, har
been rebukedJjy his church board foi
his political utterances. Sixty-foiii
of the officials of the church recently
sent a letter to Senator Robinsor
expressing regret at any criticism
expressed or implied, which have
been directed against him from the
pulpit of their church. They said
"It does not reDresent our senti
ment ." World-Herald.

After a very Interesting business
tssion, made especially so by
goodly number of members of th
Cmaha Auxiliary in attendance, the
Social committee for the month of
September, Mrs. Henry Hitzman and
Mrs. Arthur Blunt, took charge.
This committee had conceived the
idea of inviting the husbands of the
Auxiliary members to spend the eve
ning as guests of the Auxiliary, and
who responded in a very pleasing
manner.
After games had been played, re
freshments, consisting of ice-cream
cake and coffee were served. In this
the committee was very ably assisted
by their husbands and two others, i
10 wnom many maiiKS are uue.
The floor was then cleared, and
hose who cared to dance were in-
ited to do so.
The husbands, as a compliment to
the ladies, had secured Mr. John
Urish and daughter, who, in their
able and pleasing manner, furnished
the music for the evening.
At a late hour, all departed for
heir homes, voting the evening ?
very great success, and expressing
the determination to have many such
pleasant affairs during the coming
year.
